Lucas Cafarelli and Josh Giordano did not play much, you are correct. Hopefully it will be a good day tomorrow at Hudson Valley for the Mighty Warriors, and for section 2, because if you saw the shen/cba game today, well, just check the blogs for the AA and you will see what I mean.

I’m pretty sure 4 of their 5 starters saw limited action other than Manikas as a starter last year. True, they are the defending champions but it’s a whole different team than last year. I could be wrong but check into it.

I watched them play a couple of times this year and they can shoot from anywhere on the court. They have seven guys that could score in double digits at any time.

Sat, 25 Feb 2012 02:39:09 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2436#comment-8639Once again, not much love for Mohonasen in the blogs. A lot of good teams left with with talented players, but Mohon puts 5 starters on the floor who could hurt you on the offensive end, and smother you on the defensive side. All of their losses this year came against AA schools (SHEN, SHAKER, GUILDERLAND, AND BETHLEHEM) All 5 starters return from last years Class A championship squad. Where is the love???

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 21:49:03 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2436#comment-8635I wanted to comment to G-man regarding his comments. I agree with him that Green Tech has the talent but lacks cohesiveness and that the Class “a” field is weaker this year but you seem biased against B-G saying they should be in double “aa”. They are a small school approx 50 kids class have 1/2 boys/girls and compete in class”d” in football where they should be and yet you don’t see them dominating at that level mediocre at best just like the basketball program average at best. I am a BG fan and think the field is wide open and would not be suprised to see any of the top 4 seeds win it. I will tell you this if BG plays GF they will not get blasted it will be a tough competitive game but I would give the edge to GF. I also agree that Scotia is playing better basketball now but if you look at Scotia they have not fared that well when they play against the strongest teams in Class A, 2-4 against GF, Queensbury and Gloversville.You have not mentionws Mohon,don’t be surprised if they repeat a very strong defensive team and very scrappy.

Fri, 24 Feb 2012 18:40:04 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2436#comment-8626I think you will be wrong about Scotia loseing to queensbury. The Scotia team is jelling now and it they come out with the same attitude they had last time they will prevail. I will come down to wether the refs controll the game. If they allow it to be rough it will be tough. If they call the fouls Scotia will win! Go Tartans! Alan L. Dehn
